Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 946:

She was spot on.

Conroy and Gianna had been struggling to eat and drink properly lately due to their tough situation. Now that they believed they had gotten the upper hand on Eileen with the workers’ issue, Conroy and Gianna had been enjoying their meals heartily since last night.

“Regardless, we’re your elders, Eileen. You should show us some respect,” Gianna said, putting on an air of authority.

It didn’t faze Eileen. With a small smile, she replied, “That only means you’re older than me. So what?”

Over the past few days, there had been no news from VQ Group. Conroy wondered if Eileen had used her own money to pay the workers’ salaries.

Believing he had gained the upper hand, Conroy could hardly tolerate Eileen’s sharp words. He let go of Gianna’s hand and approached Eileen, rolling up his sleeves. In a low, menacing voice, he said, “I’m legally your father, Eileen. If you keep talking like that, I’ll have to teach you a lesson in respect, just like your mother should have.”

It wasn’t until he got closer that he noticed Bryan standing right next to Eileen. The man, who had once been so gentle and refined, always taking care of his child, now exuded cold detachment.

Bryan shot Conroy a look of complete indifference, and that was all it took. Conroy immediately stopped talking and moved.

Gianna silently cursed Conroy and tugged his arm down to prevent him from making a fool of himself. Then, she said to Eileen, “If you have time to be harsh, you should use it to focus on how to handle the VQ Group’s situation.”

“You’re the ones who should clean up this mess,” Eileen replied, pulling out the documents she had prepared and tossing them in front of Conroy and Gianna.

“These are screenshots of your conversations with Miguel, clearly showing that the construction project was supposed to be contracted to you. You didn’t mention your connection with VQ Group, so your dealings with the Byrd family were under your own name. But when you dealt with the workers, you did so in VQ Group’s name. If this reaches the police, not only will you have to pay back the money, but you’ll also face a lawsuit.”noveldrama

Conroy had been trying to get in touch with Seth, but Kamila’s position wasn’t strong enough to convince Seth to cooperate with him, as it meant risking a fallout with VQ Group and Bryan. So, Seth had cleverly directed Conroy to Miguel, who had set a trap to make Conroy admit that he had personally worked with the Byrd family on the construction project.

As a result, when Bryan and Eileen had inquired about it, Seth had provided the evidence right away, making it all Conroy’s fault!

Conroy’s face suddenly paled. The sum of money involved was significant. After receiving the money, they had spent over a hundred thousand in the past couple of days. They couldn’t pay it back now!

“Eileen, give us some time to sort this out. There must be some sort of misunderstanding. Let’s take things slowly and work through this together,” Gianna said, trying to buy some time.

“I’m not a fool,” Eileen replied, her voice dripping with disdain. “I used to indulge in your games, but now, I don’t have the patience for this. I don’t want your excuses. If you have anything to discuss, talk to my lawyer.”
